Thesaurus Construction and Use: Unit 1: A Practical Manual (Thesaurus Construction and Use: A Practical Manual) - Softcover
Synopsis
IT applications for thesauri have been emerging - for example, in front-end systems, cross-database searching, hypertext systems, expert systems, and in natural-language processing. In-house thesauri are still needed for internal special collections. Aiming to meet these needs, this fourth edition has been revised to take account of advances in information retrieval and software capabilities, and now also includes the uses of thesauri. In this edition, the US ANSI/NISO Z39.19 Thesaurus construction standard is also covered.
